    Attribution Asymmetry in Perception of Companies' Successes and Failures
    (2019-02-01) Gorbaniuk, Oleg; Żaliński, Adam
    This study assessed the asymmetry in the causal and dispositional attributions for a company’s failures and successes from the perspective of an external observer in the context of morality- vs. competence-related events. Eight hundred respondents participated in a five-factor experiment within a covariation model. We found asymmetry in the attributions of successes and failures in that company factors were found to have contributed more to successes than failures. Successful companies were perceived as open, innovative and stable, whereas unsuccessful companies were viewed as less innovative and unstable. This study contributes to the knowledge of how observers react to the successes and failures of companies with respect to two broad categories of attribution targets.

    Background: Lexical research based on the assumption that all the main human characteristics are encoded in the natural language constitutes one of the alternative ways of developing a taxonomy of individual differences in psychology. The majority of studies to date, including Polish ones, have been restricted to the analysis of the adjective lexicon, which means their results are at risk of reductionism. The aim of the presented research was to develop a classification of the complete Polish lexicon of person-descriptive terms (adjectives, participles, adverbs, nouns, and verbs).

    Do adjectives exhaust the personality lexicon? A psycholexical study of the Lithuanian language
    (2018-03-01) Ivanova, Ana; Gorbaniuk, Oleg; Blėkaitytė, Dovilė; Dovydaitytė, Eglė; Čepulienė, Austėja A.; Mastauskaitė, Greta; Ramanauskas, Rokas; Jurgelytė, Ugnė; Slapšinskaitė, Ringailė
    Background: The psycholexical approach is based on the assumption that the most important individual differences that people can observe have been encoded into the natural language. Thus, by studying the structure of these lexicons, we are able to identify individual differences that are universal across cultures as well as dimensions that are unique to some of them. The aim of the study was to develop a psycholexical taxonomy of the Lithuanian language including different parts of speech.
